CORRECT STORAGE
It
's easy to prepare your multifunction steam mop for storage. When you
are done using steam, follow the steps below.
1. Unplug the electrical plug from the electrical outlet.
2. Wait for the unit to cool down (at least 5 minutes)
3. Remove all accessories from the unit.
4. Remove the cap from the water tank and dispose of any remaining
water in a sink or bathtub to limit lime build-up. Replace the water
tank cap when finished.
5. Retract the extension tube as far as possible (if space is limited), and
wrap the power cord around the cord retainers.
6. Store the multifunction steam mop in a cool, dry place with all the
accessories.
REMOVE LIMESTONE
Th
e most common maintenance task for appliances using steam is the
removal of limescale which is formed by the high minerality of water
from the water service. Lime build-up can limit the effectiveness of your
multifunction steam mop and shorten its useful life.
The best way to combat lime build-up is to use distilled or deionized
water in your multifunction steam mop. In any case, we recommend
that you perform the cleaning procedure described below at least
once a month to remove any deposits that form there. This will help
extend the useful life of your multifunction steam mop and ensure that it
works with the best performance.
1. Follow the steps described in Correct Storage section above.
However, do not replace the water tank cap at the end of STEP 4.
2. Use the tip of a needle to remove the lime that has formed in the
steam wand. You can do this with all the accessories like the jet
nozzle.
3. Use the measuring cup to make a solution consisting of approximately
100 ml of distilled water and 50 ml of white vinegar.
4. Slowly pour this solution into the water tank through the fill hole, then
replace the cap.
5. Plug in the power cord, turn the steam control dial to HIGH, then spray
the entire contents of the tank into a sink or tub.
6. When the tank is completely empty, turn off the unit and fill it with 380
ml of distilled water. Return the steam control dial to UP and repeat the
operation. If you used the water-vinegar solution, it may be necessary
to repeat this step until the odor dissipates.
7. Replace the water tank cap, unplug the power cord and store the
multifunction steam mop as usual.
